From Ex. senator al. ID rgett. 3

y kVM HA-SchHtOE EAs, ~ SEftt.
The Hon. Albert Daggett, writing
from the Senate Chamber, Albany New
York, says:
| have used Allcock's Porous Plastert
for the past 10 years with marked results
| have found them especially effective
when depleted and worn out from weeks
of inoessant labors in political cam
paigns; the application of them to my
chest and spine gave me great relief
when my voice had become hoarse and
worn down from speaking in the open
air. They seemed to act as tonic to
the whole system, curing the soreness
consequent from over e1ertion and re-
storing the tone OF the system more
readily than any remedy have ever
found. l have also used them for
rheumatism with very beneficial results

The appointment of James A. Ward
to be auditor of Dakota comes quickly
after the assumption of office by the
new governor, his appointment and con-
firmation having occurred on the day
succeeding that of Gov. Church's in
auguration. Mr.. Ward is now resident
OF Sioux Falls. he came to Dakota
some ten years ago and made Yankton
his residence, here engaging in the study
and practice of law and in the real estate
business. From Yankton he went to
Pierre and there engaged in the whole
sale grocery business. At Pierre, as at
Yankton, he became prominent in pub
lilo affairs and was one of the pioneer
builders Of that city. About q year ago
Mr.. Ward transferred hImself and his
business to Sioux Falls and is now q
resident of that city. He has been
known in Dakota as conservative DEM
ocrst and an ardent division and state
hood man. He is member of the south
Dakota constitutional convention and
IN that body has made himself leading
and active advocate of the rights OF the
territory to statehood. Among tho DEM
ocrats of Dakota he has held aloof from
fsctional quarrels and is probably the
most fitting representative OF
the whole party to be
found in the territory. AT one time Mr..
Ward was prominent candidate for the
governorship and possessed strong local
and eastern support. Withdrawing
from that contest early IN the candidacy
OF Governor Church he has since allied
himself to the political fortunes of the
successful aspirant and is now first on
the list OF Governor Ghufch's official ad-
visors. Among republicans the new
auditor holds popularity equal to that
enjoyed by members of their own party
and they will generally applaud the
choice of Governor Church. Mr.. Ward
is one OF those men whose personally
rises above bis politics. He has been
known as a good citizen, rather than as a
good democrat and the question of poll.
tical atfiliation has never been raised in
the consideration of his public merits.
We have known him as an honest man,
an energetic worker for Dakota's inter-
ests and most competent representative
of the pushing business element OF our
young and growing territory. His
appointment to position of auditor will
give general satisfaction.

Physicians Have Found Out.

That communicating and foreign element in
the blood, developed by indigestion, is the
cause of rheumatism. This settles upon the
seasi i've sub-cutaneous covering of the mus
cles and ligaments of the joints, causing con-
ntant and shifting pain, and ngRregating as a
ealeareous, challfy deposit which produces
stiffncBs and distortion of the joints. No fact
which experience has demonstrated in regard
to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has stronger
evidence to. support than tnis, namely. that
this medicine Of comprehensive uses checks
the formidable and atrocious disease, Nor iB II
less positively established that it is preferable
to the poisens often used to arrest it. Since the
medicine contains only aalutary ingredients, il
is also signal remedy for malarial feyers,
constipation, dyspspsia, kidney and bladder
ailments debility and other disorders. See

The president OF the United States
has degenerated into an active lobbyist
in behalf OF his veto OF the dependent
pension bill. Recognizing the danger
OF the passage Of the measure over his
head he is among the democrats OF con-
gresa with his official whip and is crack
ing il right and left. In his extraordinary
efforts he is being vigorously aided by
the administration organ, the Washing.

bill "offers premium on laziness"
and is 80 device for the relief OF shirks." !"

asks only for pensions for disabled

Resoloed, That after careful considera-

rules of construction to show that this
act might include many who ought not
to be pensioned, when the constructor
thereof lies entirely with the admins
tration and, fairly made, includes only
those totally disabled.
B. Because its reasoning against the
granting OF pensions, that unworthy
men may receive the benefit of them
applies rather to the general policy o
pensions and rewards for services thar
to this particular bill, and it is an argu-
ment which, if carried to its conclusion
would destroy every sentiment OF patrio
tIsm and pubic generosity.
4. Because 1t assumes that the unior
soldiers OF the war OF the robe Lion have
already been pension ed higher thar
those OF any other war in the world.

The Nebraska counties south of US are
certain corn fields. With these sur
roundings Yankton is established as the
center of corn growing section. Made
accessible to the western ranges it will
naturally become q feeding point for
grass grown cattle, which require the
fattening effect of corn diet before
they can protitably be placed upon the
market. The completion of the James
valley connection with the
Northern Pacific renders this the nearest
corn feeding point to the northwest Da-
kota and Montana ranges and in time
this position must be recognized by
those who prepare cattle for the market.
1t is IN the range. of probability that
Yankton is to become the leading cattle
shipping point in oil the west. Farm
ers will not go amiss if they keep this
in mind and turn their acres into corn
fields as rapidly as is practicable.

In the United States senate yesterday
resolutions passed by the Maine legls-
lature relative to fisheries affairs were
received. These resolutions set forth
that the rights OF American fishermen in
Canadian waters have been greatly
abridged and as their treatment has
been in direct violation of international
comfy and good neighborhoo i, the en-
actment of laws by the American gov
eminent is favored 30 that the Canadian
fishermen may be placed under the same
restrictions in American waters as
Americans are in Canadian waters. The
resolutions further request that an in.
creased duty be levied on fish from
Canada, in order to practically exclude
Canadian fishermen from the advantage
Of the American market.
